Domsetic or International?

I was on the phone with American Airlines and while listening to the endless loop if computerized information, I heard a phrase that sort of confused me.

"...in the domestic United States."

Isn't that redundant?  Or are there actually international parts of the US? 

That makes me think of when I was at SOM and the receptionists would sometimes announce that someone had an "overseas" call instead of saying "international" or "long distance."

Guam and Puerto Rico could arguably be considered part of the "International United States" . . .maybe.

other than that, yes. . .redundant.
